The Fish
-
The fish that presented Virtually Impossible was a computer-generated blue monstrosity with boggly eyes. He was only ever shown on a computer monitor during the programme, and his name was Codsby.
I thought the programme was quite good when it was on, but that was during my bad taste period (I mean, I used to watch the Sonic cartoon).

Okay, here's a scan of the Virtually Impossible feature from the Anglia TV history book: http://www.knightmare.v-2-1.net/pad/vp.jpg
That was sent to me by someone at Anglia quite a while back.

Good grief, I'd forgotten just how hideous he looked.
Bit of a Lord Fear-inspired helmet there, if you ask me.

Many thanks Nic. Great to see the fish again but it looks nothing like I remember it. I have the memory of a fish evidently. Crazy stuff. Just seems so odd to find that you'd completely thought something was different. I'd thought the fish had looked a little slimmer and a little whiter. Madness.
PS Wong - you allude to a "bad taste period". Given your frequent mentions of your passion for German Death-Metal, am I right in thinking that this period is still in continuation?
-
Bah. It's not German death-metal, it's German power-metal - a completely inappropriate genre name, as most of it is happy and melodic. Have a listen to the first track on Iron Savior's latest album, it's about 3.5MB:

Now, you might still think I'm in a 'bad taste' period after listening, but so far everyone I've given the link to has loved it. <¦-)
-
Hmmmmmmm ... I do still think you may be in that "bad taste" period. But I'm sure you'll grow out of it.
-
No, it's too late for me. Save yourself!
-
What exactly is doom metal? And you're right about VI.
-
I think it was only one series. I might have a couple of episodes on video, not sure about that though.
-
It wasn't as bad as that!
Are you sure? I remember it being pretty bad.
-
Power metal's not a lot like doom metal. But anyway, I don't want to continue this argument - I like it, you don't, end of story, as long as we both like Knightmare (hatred of Virtually Impossible being a bonus).

lesson or lesion?

Talking of Broadsword productions, has anyone ever seen the Satellite Game - is it any good?
